CTPD Graduation Component
This rating measures the percent of students who concentrate in career-technical education and graduate from high school within four or five years.
What is being rated?
- Four-Year Graduation Rate – How many students graduated in four years or less?
- Five-Year Graduation Rate – How many students graduated in five years or less?
Why is this important?
Almost all jobs require skills and education beyond a high school diploma. Measuring the five-year rate gives districts credit for helping students who just missed graduating on time finish their diplomas.
Questions to ask
- What are we doing to grow the number of students who graduate?
- What are the reasons students are not graduating?
- Are there certain subjects that are holding students back?
- Which districts, similar to ours, are doing better than we are? What are they doing?
How is the rating determined?
The
Four-Year Graduation Rate includes only those students who earn diplomas within four years after entering ninth grade for the first time and concentrated in career-technical education.
The
Five-Year Graduation Rate includes those students who graduate within five years after entering ninth grade for the first time and concentrated in career-technical education by the end of their fourth year.
